Attorney Deborah C. Mortimer
As the Principal Attorney at Mortimer Legal, PLLC, Deborah C. Mortimer is a legal expert in intellectual property law, blending an eclectic background of legal expertise in trademark and copyright services with a background in writing and publishing. As an entrepreneur and owner of registered brands herself, she has firsthand experience with the strategic and business challenges her clients face. This unique insight informs her work at Mortimer Legal, PLLC, where she provides expert guidance on brand building, strategy, and legal protection.
For Deborah, it all starts with a simple concept: integrity. Clients experience her strong work ethic in every aspect of the attorney-client relationship: detailed, transparent communication and direct, honest management of expectations. Her keen, creative, and persuasive legal writing skills pair well with her concept of working with clients as a team. On this team, consider her your most persistent advocate, and chief negotiator.
With two decades of experience as an attorney, Deborah is a tenacious advocate whose practice is defined by a tough-minded, diligent approach to trademark and copyright services. As a prior litigator, she is a skilled negotiator who works collaboratively with clients to achieve their business goals. This combination of legal and boots-on-the-ground experience makes her the ideal teammate for anyone who wants to protect their brand and ideas with nationwide trademark and copyright registration along with well-written agreements. She's built brands herself, and she knows what it takes to protect those brands over the long haul.
Outside the practice she is a published children's book author, which keeps her close to the authors, illustrators and creatives she represents.
